These are the posts we all hate: You, the art lover who really just wants to see great art for free and I, who hates talking about financial aspects more than anyone. But even though I have proven many times in my life that I can survive on 9p Tesco noodles for up to 8 months without mutating into a noodle, it's not really what I had in mind with my life.

So let's cut the crap: As most of you know by now, I am currently working on getting Art Nerd - my own art space - off the ground.

I have long experience in working in the arts for both festivals, fairs, newspapers and in both small urban art galleries and high-end galleries (Hauser & Wirth). And I have an even longer track record as an academic and journalistic art nerd who has helped launch and solidify artists' careers, as everyone who has been reading this blog for the past 8 years will know. What I don't have, however, is money so I'm trying to reach out to people who've enjoyed Wurzeltod® over the years and know that opening a London HQ is not just a naïve dream but that it's bloody NEEDED here.

Don't worry, I won't bore you with all the minute details here as it's something we can talk about on a more private level if you're interested but here's what you'll get as an investor:

• Membership card that entitles you to:

- Monthly art tours to selected London exhibitions organised and held by me

- Access to the art space when it's closed (Mon/Tue and provided I'm in town which I am most of the time as I'm a hermit.)

December 26, 2011 -- 20 Most Popular Posts on Wurzeltod in 2011To wrap up 2k11 on the Wurzelblog, I decided to post the 20 articles you guys liked best - according to likes, shares and reactions - and I must say, you've got a rather amazing and futureproof taste ...

Art Nerd: Looking for Partners/Lenders/Investors "

Since I am a poor graduate student over in the US (sadly accustomed to noodle eating life), I'm in no position to invest.

But I just want to wish you INFINITE luck with this project. I've followed your art-nerdiness for years and have often thought you would do a stellar job if you could have your own art space. No one deserves this more than you. I can't wait to see this get off the ground!
